Empty Leitz Condenser
Hi does anyone know what kind of Leitz condenser this is? It looks like a UKO type but it is completely empty inside save for the iris. Did someone take the wheel with the phase stops/prisms out? or did some condensers come empty like this? Top lens is 0.9 Achromat.

Your condenser is for the later 160 tube length stand such as Dialux, Laborlux, Labovert, etc. it will not fit on 160 stands with the aperture diaphragm built in the stand such as Diaplan and Aristoplan. On these there is a pin in the condenser mount to prevent mounting it.
The phase / DIC wheel has been removed or was never installed on your condenser.
